A yield test consists of determining the balance between the maximum amount of water that can be pumped and the amount of recharge back into the well from the surrounding ground water. Testing is done by continuously pumping water from the well for an extended period. Call African Drilling to book your pump tests at 067 330085

Nopal Namibia PLC is driving sustainability in Namibia with the resilient Nopal cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica), aiming to make a lasting environmental and economic impact.

Founded and led by Nopal partner Nicole Maske from Windhoek alongside Nopal Corp of Portugal, the company has embarked on large-scale cactus farming to revitalise arid lands and support local communities. With phase 1 launched in May 2024, Nopal aims to scale up by cultivating 5 000 hectares of nopal cactus by 2027 and 17 500 hectares by 2028, contributing significantly to carbon sequestration and bioenergy.

The initial project, in collaboration with the Gusinde von Wietersheim Successors Trust, covers 500 hectares on Farm Namseb near Maltahöhe, within a broader 12 000-hectare sustainable agricultural area.

Nopal is leading an ambitious effort to transform Namibia’s arid, drought-prone lands into a hub for bioenergy production, carbon credit generation, and local food and fodder supply. By cultivating the resilient Opuntia cactus (prickly pear), worldwide well-known as livestock feed and for household use, Nopal aims to bring new value to these lands.

The hardy Opuntia has emerged as a promising crop in dry, hot regions globally due to its ability to capture carbon and adapt to challenging climates. With Namibia’s livestock-dependent agriculture, Nopal’s cactus farms could be a game changer, providing sustainable forage for animals. Nopal’s proprietary spineless, non-invasive cactus varieties from Italy – like the red-fruited Rossa and orange Gialla cultivars – will be imported from Portugal to Namibia, creating an opportunity for local and overseas consumption. High-density planting of 10 000 plants per hectare will maximise the yield, using efficient drip irrigation to manage water usage and organic fertilisers sourced from local livestock.

The fruits will be harvested for sale, while the cactus cladodes will serve as versatile animal feed: wet for direct sale to farmers during droughts, dried and sold in bulk, or processed into pellets and fodder blocks. Nopal’s spineless variety, which thrives in the harshest conditions, is not only resilient but also confirmed as non-invasive, ensuring it integrates sustainably with the Namibian ecosystem.

THE KUNENE RISES: The Kunene River is one of the rivers transformed by this year’s rainfall. A striking video shared with Informanté captured the river's revival, showcasing its renewed flow between Angola and Namibia. According to Namibia Hydrological Services, the river recorded a flow of 492.89m³/s on Friday morning, a sharp increase from the 327.20m³/s recorded just a week earlier, on 10 January 2024. Even more remarkable, this year’s flow far surpasses the 337.60m³/s measured on the same date last year. Video: Johan van Rooyen.
